Common Questions
Why do my fence posts keep leaning or sinking in my Talbott yard?
This is usually caused by the heavy clay soil in our area expanding and contracting with moisture. When posts are set without a proper gravel base for drainage, water pools around the wood, causing rot and movement. Rayne Outdoor Building fixes this by digging below the frost line, using a 6- to 8-inch gravel base, and setting posts with concrete that slopes away to shed water.
My gate drags on the ground after a heavy rain – what's the fix?
A sagging or dragging gate is often a sign that the hinge post is shifting or the gate frame is twisted from ground moisture. We first check the post for stability. If it’s loose, we reset it with proper drainage and a concrete collar. If the post is solid, we adjust the hinges, add a tension cable, or reinforce the gate frame to prevent future sagging.
What kind of fence material works best for Talbott’s damp seasons?
For our area, pressure-treated southern yellow pine or a vinyl fence with galvanized steel posts hold up best. Cedar is also a good choice if you want a natural look. We avoid using untreated wood next to the ground. With any material, the key is getting the post hole drainage right – that's what prevents early failure around here.
